What do plants and zombies have in common? Well they are both blood enemies according to PopCap’s latest, Plants vs Zombies. Plants vs Zombies is PopCap’s spin on the tower defence genre. The premise is simple, zombies are trying to get into your house and using plants, you need to stop the waves of zombies. This is what I got from the timed demo(60 minutes trial).
You plant, plants on you front lawn. You collect sun that drop at a certain pace and once you have accumulated enough sun, you can plant the plant of your choice. There is a wide variety of different plants. From sun flowers that give you sun at a faster rate(your typical resource generators), peashooters that shoot pea and damage zombies to wall-nuts that block the zombies path.
The game turns thing around in certain level when you are needed to use plants in different way and even, lawn bowling with walnuts. With each level, you get new plants or new dynamics are introduced(like battling zombies at night).
Plants vs Zombies is deceptively simple, the longer you play it, the more you get used to what is needed to get the upper hand over the zombies. You will start hoarding sun points and only start planting when zombies arrive instead of blindly wasting them on lanes that may have less zombies.
The levels you play isn’t as varied as in Peggle(you are constantly only defending your house and see your lawn all the time) and does seem like like visually, it gets repetitive. This does not mean the game gets boring because it always rewards you with something new in every level.
Plants vs Zombies is another winner from PopCap. It’s simple, fun, addictive, charming and funny. At only USD$9.99, you will probably get more play through this small game than any other game. Stop reading and play it for yourself here
